i've searched almost everywhere and i cant find that collasiam place. where exactly do i have to dive?

Be sure you are at the Lost Sea - not the Enchanted Sea. To get to the Lost Sea you have to complete Anephas's Shrine and exit on the other side. (Unless you cheat a bit and tree surf there).

Once you are at the Lost Sea swim towards south until you find the place where it is widest. Cast the "spirit eye" spell. On your map you will now see four white dots in the water. 3 close to each other and 1 slightly off. These represent 2 levers and 2 treasure chests. This is Collasium. Dive to the 1 white dot that is a situated a short way from the other. That is where you enter. You have to dive into the basement of a building.

If you have trouble finding it, remember Talrik's treasure map. If you search the western rim of the Lost Sea you will find a small grove where his cart is... Collasium is straight east of there.

Hope you find it. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Bsftcs has got you the right information. If you're in the wrong sea, you just won't find it [img]smile.gif[/img]

Others have reported that your ship (if you're using one) seems to slow down in the area above Collasium. I've noticed that I get funny sounds if I swim under water, then surface and jump up like a dolphin (okay, or a whale [img]smile.gif[/img] ). When I land, it's... different. That tells me I'm in the right area.

There is one point over collasium where ur ship really STOPS - u cannot sail over this point imho. There u find the lost city.

On software rendering (not sure about hardware enhanced stuff), when water skipping in the general vicinity of the city, you'll see this big blue elevated square of water telling you when to dive. Hard to describe, but pretty impossible to miss ...

my boat is stuck on the waters edge near the pirate with no crew, how do i get it out?

Hi there burnzey boi. You're not the first to get shipwrecked there!

If you don't feel like going back to an old save, then you can get off using either Vanish or Portal spells. Return to Portal is the most reliable. Just leave your ship, create a portal in safe waters, return to your ship and click on the helm, then cast return to portal. This wi;ll get you and your ship safely away.

If you don't have these spells yet, just leave your ship there for now (don't really need it), and come back for it when you learn them.

PS - very VERY happy to help out, but if you don't feel like waiting for our half of the International Date Line to wake up and respond to your query, try using the board's excellent search feature. 99% of all problems have been encountered before over the last 4 years and will have an easy solution already documented.

But again, no worries if you just feel like asking away!

another thing, where is that bluebeard guy? my ranger sometimes says bluebeard has been here but i never see him.

Your tracker is probably picking up his scent when you are on the other side of a "hedge row" of trees from Bluebeard somewhere on the rim of the Enchanted Sea. Don't worry, you'll get to him soon enough. He'll be right across your path when the time comes!
